    Rear main seal or something else?

    I did that. Those are dry as a bone. I replaced the transmission cooler lines this past summer.

    Rear main seal or something else?

    Hmmm, is the knock sensor something that is sometimes mistaken for a rear main oil seal leak?

    Rear main seal or something else?

    So in hindsight I should have had the rear mail oil seal replaced when I had the transmission replaced a month ago. Unfortunately the rear main seal may of started leaking recently. I took that round metal cover off of the transmission and looked inside, it appears to be completely dry inside...

    Shudder No More!

    I just had a remanufactured tranny and new torque converter installed last month to the tune of $3800. This price was with the billet style converter upgrade. I had the shudder happening quite frequently but the transmission shifted perfectly. But with 190k miles, I thought it was best to...

    Installed oil catch can today

    I've been seeing a few oil catch can threads lately, so I thought I would install one on my 2015 Chevy Tahoe LT. I installed one on my Jeep Wrangler last summer and liked the results, so I'll see if this one yield the same, if not better results. There are some really nice catch cans out there...

    Starting issue

    My Dodge Ram 1500 had the same issue as you are describing. The battery was good, the started was good, the starter solenoid was good, the key was good, the ignition switch was good, the ignition module was good. the ground cables were good. The car would be running perfectly and then just die...

    5.3L Air filter?

    I really can't see the need for a pre-filter unless you live and drive in a very dusty area...lots of dirt roads. Or of the air filter is manufactured with the purpose of high flow. Although layering on filters on top of the high flow filter seems to be purpose defeaticous (not a real word) Or...

    New Member + Bought 2019 Yukon SLE

    Take a look at the engine on both sides where the exhaust manifold attaches to the engine block. There are 4 exhaust ports on each side that the exhaust manifold connects to exhaust the fumes through the exhaust system (catalytic converter, exhaust pipes & mufflers). At each of those 8 mounting...

    Starting issue

    Make sure I heard this correctly, the battery is fully charged and all lights and other electrical items work (windows, horn, sunroof, radio, etc) but the car makes absolutely no noise when the key is turned. The engine does not turn over. The starter makes no clicking noise at all when you turn...

    High mileage upkeep

    Just keep up with regular maintenance: replace rear differential fluids, front differential fluids, transfer case fluids, tranny fluids and filter, serpentine belt, air filter, spark plugs, fuel filter….

    Engine Coolant Level Dropping

    I had a mysterious coolant leak on my 2015 Tahoe. I originally noticed my coolant level in the overflow tank was low, so I would top it off, only to find it was low again a few days later. I never saw coolant on the ground. After a couple of months I finally started seeing coolant on the floor...

    Replaced my transmission thermostat with a lower temp thermostat

    After replacing mine, I'm topping out at about 130 degrees on most of my driving. There was a couple of occasions I hit the 150 mark, but that was during a lot of stop-and-go traffic. Most of my driving is freeway. I'm looking forward to seeing what the temp reach in the summer. I think it's...

    2015 Yukon hesitates starting first time in the morning

    Have you replaced your fuel filter and regularly put fuel injector cleaner in your gas?

    Fan running excessively

    I agree with Tahoe14, replace the coolant temp sensor. It's a 5 minute job, 10 minutes for a first timer. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001W0FSMM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3CVB1NQ4KWZRK&psc=1

    Debating on replacing transmission fluid

    I know this is a topic that has been beaten into the ground but..... So I have a 2015 Chevy Tahoe LT with approx 167,000 miles and runs absolutely great. No issues with the transmission at all. I purchased the Tahoe ealier this summer, so I don't know the maintenance history other than what I...

    Transmission!!!

    I would be interested to know if it behaves differently in MANUAL mode. I would want to see if in MANUAL mode you are able to stop and go and shift through the gears but only in AUTOMATIC mode it has the issues.

    2016 Tahoe - Annoying interior rattling noise

    I have an annoying rattle sound coming from the exact same area. I also thought it may be from the seat belt latch plate but it's not because the child car seat is in there.

    2019 Tahoe Frame Rust

    Be careful of what you choose to do. Some of those methods are only covering up the rust with rubbery sprays ons. This is bad, it only accelerate the rusting process. The only way to stop rust from spreading is to grind it out or cut it out. Also remember, you are only seeing the the rust...

    2016 Tahoe

    Take the belt off and then turn on the engine, if the squeak is gone, it’s a bad pulley. Another trick is to put some water in a spray bottle, and while the engine is running spray a small amount of water on the belt. If the squeak stops, the source of the squeak is the belt. If the squeak is...
